Eucalyptus saligna

  • Background

    seedEnergy commenced production of genetically improved Eucalyptus saligna seed in 2008. seedEnergy's original seedling seed orchard was planted by Hancock Victorian Plantations in 1991 near Glencoe, Victoria as a geographically sub-lined provenance-family trial with a broad genetic base. seedEnergy took over management of the trial in 2008 and has since developed it into a seedling seed orchard. In 2008, seedEnergy established a large trial at Mt. Gambier, South Australia comprising seedlots sourced from a range of native forest families from good performing provenances with the intention of converting it to a seedling seed orchard.

  • Seed orchard development

    In 2008, seedEnergy assessed trees in the Glencoe trial for stem diameter, straightness and forking at age 17 years. Following an analysis, plus trees were selected from the best provenances and the inferior genotypes were culled.
